Chapter 266: A New Situation

The year 1726 came and the world entered a new development. On the North American continent, it was suddenly reported that a Yanhuang trading company built by the Indians defeated the British and the French and dominated the North American continent. The Spaniards, the Portuguese, and the Dutchmen all shrank their defenses, trembling in their own one-third of an acre, afraid of the company's attack. The Indian tribes who couldn't get by, and the Indian tribes who had some foresight, went thousands of miles to defect. A behemoth that seems to be taking shape.

And on the European continent, the center of the world that the whites thought was the center, the battle between the British and the French was in full swing. The British finally delayed the time and let the French fight down in the city of London, and the 80,000 servant army finally arrived. Although they lost a series of defeats in the battle, the main force of the British still did not suffer too many casualties, and the servant army did not dare to resist because of the great power accumulated in various colonies, and still honestly obeyed the orders of the British and used them as cannon fodder on the front line.

Although it can't be fought one-on-one, it can at least delay the progress of the French and allow them to waste more bullets and shells. At the same time, the British gathered a large army and fought against the French fleet at sea. The performance of the front-loading rifled guns did not form an absolute crushing advantage over the front-loading guns, so the French battleships, which were equipped with heavy punches, did not do well in front of the absolute number of battleships of the British, and could only barely maintain their undefeated.

However, even so, Louis XV was very satisfied. After all, if it was a previous battleship, I am afraid that it would directly fail. However, because of the harassment of the British fleet, the French army that attacked the British mainland had fewer and fewer supplies, and it was no longer able to continue the attack. The consul of the Yan Huang Trading Company persuaded Louis XV to change his offensive tactics according to Chaulin's initial advice. The French thus entered a solid defensive phase, occupying one-tenth of the territory of the British Isles and beginning to consolidate their rule.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the British found that there was still nothing they could do for the time being. The current supply fleet has just enough ammunition for the French to defend and fight. And the British, they really can't hold it down. The two sides entered a stalemate, and then began to support their younger brothers to fight. I don't know how to mix it, the Spaniards and the British got together, the Portuguese and the French got together. Spain and Portugal were originally feuding, and the boss behind them was in a state of war, and now, the two countries also started fighting.

Louis XV moved to Portugal a large number of weapons that had been obsolete by the appearance of the Hall M1819 and the Heavy Fist, and the Portuguese army was strengthened to the point of surpassing the Spaniards. In addition, the instructors of the French are all apprentices of a group of instructors sent by the company before, and the two knives are two knives, but the ability is indeed stronger than that of the Spaniards and Portuguese. Under their guidance, the Portuguese marched on and won all the way to the point that the Spaniards were a little breathless.

Seeing the general performance of the French people who cooperated with the company, the Spanish royal family and the Portuguese royal family also moved their minds. If the French can learn from the company, get advanced weapons and learn advanced tactics, then why can't they. The two countries were also one of the maritime powers at the beginning, but they were overtaken by Britain and France later, and they had to be reduced to being the younger brothers, and they were naturally unwilling. If they can get the same things as the French, then they can win a little more respect, not to mention the glory they once had.

The kings of the two kingdoms each wrote a harshly worded letter of order, stating that the two governors of the South American continent must personally find the Yanhuang Trading Company and discuss cooperation with their bosses. To the surprise of the two governors, the bottom line given by the king was that they completely abandoned the colony and taught the territory to the company. The two were also very helpless, but they could not disobey the harshly worded orders of the locals, so they could only take a team of 300 guards and rush all the way to the North American continent.

Xiao Lin didn't know for the time being, at this time, he was discussing with Qu Jun and Yu Xiao for future development. Now on the North American continent, the Yanhuang Trading Company has no rivals. The total population exceeded 1 million, and the number of standing armies expanded by 20,000 to 40,000. The total number of militia reached 100,000, and they usually worked in farming, but in times of crisis, they were directly 100,000 troops stronger than the regular armies of Europe. The territory is shrinking, and unnecessary villages and towns are abandoned. Valuable exiles, as new settlements for displaced people, to house those Indians who had taken refuge in the company.

The process of industrialization was completed and reached the state of the Germans before the start of the First World War. Of course, it's not the peak, but it's already taking shape. Whites and Indians who are new to the company will undergo three months of basic industrial training or agricultural training according to their own choices and hobbies, and they will come out as basically qualified workers or farmers. Everyone's strength is greatly strengthened. The Spring Festival celebrations of 1726 subdued everyone's hearts, and there was no sign of riots.

The company as a whole is growing itself at a very fast pace. However, this is not without its pitfalls. First of all, the huge productivity brought about by industrial development has led to an increase in various outputs. Moreover, the rate of increase is extremely alarming. A million people, which seems like a lot, but even the Indians and whites who like to consume cannot provide a large enough market. According to this trend, by the time of 17 years, there will be excess capacity, and Yanhuang Trading Company itself will not be able to digest it.

Therefore, it is necessary to find the dumping place in advance. With the quality of the company's products, there is no situation where they cannot be sold, only that they may be robbed by pirates and robbers. At a time when the company's naval strength has not expanded to be strong enough, it is more difficult to ship by sea. The navies that Ijik now has under his command are basically all the sailors who have worked and have potential on the North American continent. It's not that you can't find qualified candidates for the Navy, but it takes too much time to train.

This is the case for sailboats, and the requirements for sailboats are even more stringent. The ship's artillery and steam engines all had to be operated and maintained by the crew. If you don't understand this, you won't be able to get on the boat. A qualified naval sailor, even with the company's ability, takes a year to train. If you want to go to sea, you need more than two years of training. Otherwise, Xiao Lin himself would not be at ease, a sailboat will cost a lot.

I'm afraid there are only a few solutions to the current path. First of all, we began to encourage multi-birth and multi-fertility on a large scale in the company. In the 21st century, the territory of the Chinese people is similar to that of the current North American continent, but hundreds of millions of people are still so empty, and large areas of no-man's land exist. Now it is only a million people, and even if you add the scattered Indians who have not yet taken refuge, it will not exceed 10 million at most. After years of fighting, there were too many casualties, and they were all adult capable soldiers, and once they died, the whole family had no pillars.

Incidentally, many people starved to death. Have a little more, and there will be people in the company who can use it in the future. Don't ask for too much, as long as it can reach about 30 million within ten years, Xiao Lin can rest assured. Well, it's about expanding the market by land. On the North American continent, there is still a large market. Those Indian tribes, even if they can be self-sufficient in food, but can buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, and iron pots, they will not refuse.

Besides, there are so many professional army soldiers in the company, and now that there is no war, they can't just raise it. Retiring Xiao Lin is even more reluctant, they are all sturdy men between the ages of 20 and 30, with the ability to fight and kill, it's okay to go back to be a policeman, but it's too wasteful to be a civilian. Just because there is no fight now does not mean that there will be no fight in the future. A company is a piece of fat, with a population of one million, and it is not ranked in the world, and it will definitely provoke greedy people. The Army also had to expand and be ready to defend the company.

Speaking of the word company, it's not that no one suggested that Xiao Lin change his name and change it to a kingdom, but it really doesn't work and the principality can also be. However, Xiao Lin felt that it was too early, and he always felt a little smiling and generous when he rashly established the country. This is also a problem of Chinese people's cognition, the population of China has not been less than a few million, and in the 21st century, it is the world's largest population, 1.4 billion people, scared you to death. If the number is too small, they themselves are embarrassed.

Xiao Lin didn't think that the South American continent is also a good choice, the distance is not very far, by land, you can go by boat for a while, and the army can exert its might. However, because he subconsciously regarded the South American continent as his target and always wanted to attack it in the future, Xiao Lin never considered using his own products to strengthen the power of the people above who were hostile to the company. The Spaniards, the Portuguese, and the Dutch, in particular, had caused trouble for the company, and were listed among the enemies by Chaulin.

If they knew about this, they would definitely want to cry without tears. The two governors, after a lot of hardships, set off just after Christmas, and really encountered all kinds of dangers along the way. Wolves, tigers, wild boars, robbers, poachers, Indian scalping tribes, all there. If it weren't for the three hundred elite guards each, they would have died on the way. When I set off, I was still in high spirits and high spirits. By the time he approached the company's territory, he was almost a beggar.

The two teams came to the border and saw a lively town in the distance, and the tears were flowing. Finally, they were able to buy hot food with their coins and find a place to live that was dry and warm and not rainy.
